I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

"Second brother, please don't tell anyone that I'm staying here to recuperate." He Lian'er instructed.

"Why? If you leave Mingjian Sect, you should at least tell the Sect Master of Mingjian Sect, as well as your father and mother who are far away in Qixuan Sect, so that they won't worry about you."

"Second brother, I have already sent a message to Master. As for father and mother, they just asked third brother to bring me something a few days ago. They probably won't know I'm here for a while. Don't tell them yet, so they don't worry."

He Tianhong couldn't persuade He Lian'er, so he had to agree.

He Tianhong settled He Lian'er in his own courtyard to recuperate, and strictly ordered other disciples not to come here and disturb his practice.

Originally, He Tianhong was rarely in the sect. In addition, he did not like socializing with others and did not have many close friends. Therefore, his courtyard was very quiet for the next few days.

During the day, apart from going to the sect to listen to lectures from several elders, he would concentrate on drawing talismans in the house.

He Lian'er lives in the guest room.

She stays in the house every day and doesn't come out.

At first, whenever He Tianhong asked her to go out and relax, she would use the excuse of recuperating from her injuries or meditating in her room. Later, he stopped bothering her.

That day, He Tianhong walked out of the house carrying the talisman he had drawn over the past few days.

He looked at the closed door of the guest room, hesitated for a moment and walked over: "Lian'er, are you there?"

He Lian'er, who was hiding in the space of the jade pendant, suddenly opened her eyes and appeared on the bed with a thought.

"Second brother, you called me?"

"Lian'er, my second brother is going down the mountain. Do you want to go down the mountain with him?"

He Lian'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Second brother is going down the mountain?"

"Yes, my second brother has drawn a lot of talismans these days, and he is going to go down the mountain to sell them for other items. Would you like to go with me to the town for a stroll?"

He Lian'er was indeed somewhat moved. She was not someone who could stand loneliness, and she had no choice but to stay in the house these days. When she heard that she could go down the mountain, she immediately got out of bed and opened the door.

"Brother, I'll go with you."

"it is good."

He Lian'er put on a bamboo hat before going out, and only followed He Tianhong down the mountain after she was ready.

Seeing He Lian'er covering herself tightly, He Tianhong asked in confusion: "Lian'er, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I just want to save myself some trouble." He Lian'er said guiltily.

The main reason was that she was worried about being recognized. She remembered that when she tried to please the people of Wan Jing Sect in the next town last time, many monks had seen her true face. It would be bad if she was recognized this time.

But He Tianhong misunderstood her meaning and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Lian'er is thoughtful. Everyone who sees your face wants to take a few more glances. In order to avoid trouble, this is a good idea."

He Lian'er didn't explain and just smiled awkwardly.

The two of them walked down the mountain side by side. As soon as they walked out of the mountain gate, they were run into by Yan Mei and others who had just returned from completing a mission outside.

Yan Mei watched He Tianhong talking and laughing with the woman wearing a bamboo hat beside him, and the fire of jealousy in her heart suddenly ignited.

She looked at the woman next to He Tianhong, her eyes swept over her graceful figure, and the jealousy in her eyes became even stronger.

But in order to prevent Senior Brother He from hating her, Yan Mei smiled and walked up to greet him: "Senior Brother He, are you back from your training?"

He Tianhong was originally talking to He Lian'er about the talisman he had drawn when he was suddenly interrupted. He looked a little unhappy.

He raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and after recognizing her as the Fourth Elder's disciple, he nodded at her calmly, taking it as a response to her.

When Yan Mei saw that the person she liked actually responded to her, her face immediately turned red with excitement and her heart beat faster.

At this time, He Lian'er glanced at Yan Mei through the veil, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

It turned out to be the female disciple who loved the second brother.

He has average looks and his cultivation is not outstanding, yet he dares to covet my second brother. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

He Lian'er felt a sense of mischief in her heart. She put her arm around He Tianhong and said in a deliberately soft voice, "Brother Hong, let's go quickly. The shops in the town will be closed soon."

He Tianhong nodded, smiling and said, "Okay."

After saying this, the two of them walked down the mountain hand in hand as if no one was around.

Yan Mei turned around and looked at the two people who had already walked away, her eyes almost spitting fire.

This vixen actually seduced her Senior Brother He right in front of her! Damn it!

The several disciples standing behind Yan Mei were all Yan Mei's little followers. Naturally, they all knew that Senior Sister Yan had been in love with Senior Brother He all these years. They looked at the back of the woman next to He Tianhong and started pointing and talking.

"Who is the woman next to Senior Brother He? Why haven't I seen her in the sect before?"

"That's right. I haven't seen this person either. Maybe she's a seductress hired by a red house in town. Did you see her waist that was twisted to the point of breaking? She smelled like a fox."

After hearing this, Yan Mei felt a little better and her expression was no longer as ugly as before.

At this time, a female disciple walked up to her and whispered, "Senior Sister Yan, why don't we find an opportunity to teach that woman a lesson and keep her away from Senior Brother He."

"No need. Senior Brother He is very proud and arrogant. She is not worthy of his attention at all. I guess she is just a temporary novelty."

"But when Senior Brother He looked at that woman just now, the love in his eyes couldn't be faked. We are afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Another disciple quickly explained, "We're worried that Senior Brother He has been bewitched by that woman. In our hearts, Senior Sister Yan is the only one who is worthy of Senior Brother He. You can't let another vixen take advantage of you."

Hearing this, Yan Mei's heart, which had been at ease, began to lift again.

Her eyes flashed with determination and unwillingness. She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the backs of the two people in the distance until they disappeared at the end of her sight.

She clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost dug into her palms, but the pain was not as intense as the complicated emotions in her heart.

"She is not qualified enough to compete with me, Yan Mei!"

Yan Mei swore secretly in her heart. Although her voice was soft, it revealed her unquestionable determination.

Turning around, Yan Mei gave instructions to the two people behind her, without any hesitation in her tone: "You two, follow them immediately. Remember, you must wait until the woman is alone before taking action. I want to make sure everything is safe."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, then lowered their heads and agreed respectfully.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Yan. We will make sure that vixen will never appear in front of Senior Brother He again."

After saying that, the two of them turned around and walked down the mountain.

Yan Mei smiled proudly in her heart and decided to go back to the sect to hand in the task first, and then wait quietly for good news from the few people.
